Data Notes

Please note that while case statistics reflect the most current data at the time of reporting, all figures presented on the case data dashboard are subject to change as new information is gathered.

Total cases reflects laboratory-confirmed cases who are Placer County residents.

Confirmed case dates reflect the date of specimen collection. Confirmed cases that do not have a valid date of specimen collection are not included in the graphs of cases but are counted in the cumulative number of confirmed cases.

Placer County’s estimate of “likely recovered cases” includes non-deceased and non-hospitalized cases for whom 14 days have passed since their initial positive specimen collection date. Due to the variable nature of the disease and recovery, “likely recovered cases” is an estimate and may not reflect the true number of cases who have fully recovered from infection. The period of 14 days after specimen collection date indicates the time after which an individual would likely no longer pose an infectious risk.

Whereas laboratory-confirmed case numbers reflect only Placer County residents, negative results may also include some non-Placer residents whose tests were performed within the county.

Total hospitalizations include patients in ICU. Those hospitalized within Placer County include non-Placer residents. County residents hospitalized in Placer hospitals may not reflect the total number of residents hospitalized due to COVID-19, as some residents are in hospitals outside the county. Cases hospitalized “Because of COVID” excludes confirmed cases hospitalized for trauma, maternity, or other unrelated causes.

Cases who do not have a valid zip code will not be included on the map or the table of cases by zip code or region, but are included in total case counts.

The 7-Day testing positivity rate is the average percentage of tests that were positive over the last 7 days. The figure shown is lagged by 7 days to allow for receipt and transfer of additional results.

The 14-day case rate per 100,000 is the sum of new cases with specimens collected in the past 14 days per 100,000 residents (total new cases by specimen collection date for past 14 days/398,329*100,000). The figure shown is lagged by 3 days to allow for receipt and transfer of additional results. This figure may differ somewhat from State calculations based on episode date.
